Anyone any clue when I might see Android 4.2 on my HTC One (Three). I am still waiting for features I have had on my IOS devices for several years.

Which features would those be because I'm pretty sure 4.1.2 offers them all? 4.2.2 offers features iOS6 and 7 don't even have...

To name a few -

1. Triple tap one finger for global display magnification IOS has supported this as a double tap with 3 fingers since the release of the 3GS (it needed hardware support). I used to have a Nexus 4 and I really miss it on the HTC One. It means an essential accessory that needs to be carried around with the HTC is reading glasses

2. Battery percentage on status display

3. User accounts - And I know IOS does not support this, but the main use of it for me is to allow me to hand the device to someone else to use, locked into one app so that they cannot access my email etc. IOS has supported this as a triple tap of the home button also for several years.

And yes, I know Android has features IOS doesn't have - but only one that I really miss and that's the Swype keyboard. That's the reason why I would tend to use the HTC for things like forum postings when on the move, that and the big screen.

Well the battery percentage is coming in the HTC one 4.2 update but when Three customers get that I would expect any time soon as we still haven't got the 1.29 update. Also the toggles features will be a nice part of the update.

July is what i'm hearing right now.

This sort of thing makes the case for the Nexus 4 even stronger imo, even forgetting the amazing price.

I know. I had an N4 months ago with 4.2. Why on earth can't these manufacturers get their act together. They probably get Betas of the new version months before it's released on the Google devices anyway.
